THIS STORY:
It was 1925 in the sleepy idyllic town of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin when 8-year-old Arthur Schumacher suddenly disappeared. For seven weeks the community and state searched desperately to find the boy. It was then that his body was found just a mile from his house. His clothing was torn and a handkerchief was shoved down his throat.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named βThe Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

This is absolutely positively an horrible and disgusting story of what happened to Buddy! This story just goes to show that there were evil monsters even back then. May little Buddy Rest In Peace!

Predators also live next-door. There's no such thing as "it doesn't happen here."
-
Tragic story, imagine his parents having to live all those years without ever seeing justice for their son... RIP little Buddy
-

Buddy was such a darling little boy. The more I learn about the early part of the 20th century, the more I realize it wasn't a pure, "innocent" time as I once believed. I wonder if Buddy's little sister Jeannette, or possibly her children are still alive? Perhaps they are the ones leaving the flowers?
-
Such a tragic fate, poor little boy! When you hear a story like this, you just wonder, why did this happen to this little angel. I wish they could have solved this crime. We will not forget you Buddy!!!! Rest in Peace to you and your family π

I remember riding the bus to downtown Peoria when I was a kid, with my sisters and cousins ( 60 years ago ). I was 8. And I now have an 8 year old grandson and cannot even imagine him on a bus or a train at that age. Or even let outside to play alone.

Just a few days ago in France, a 12 year old school girl name lola was taken by a woman while she was on her way to school .she was sexually assaulted, murdered and her little body was placed in a suitcase by this woman .Then this woman travelled to a hotel with that suitcase as if nothing at all. Thankfully she has been arrested and waiting for her trial . But because she is a woman the kid probably trusted her .We need to teach our kids about safety rules , whether the stranger is a male or a female you don't take any chances, regardless how nice or kind they appear to you

Unsolved murders are always hard, especially those of children. Weird to think this one is now nearly 100 years ago
-
Thank you for remembering this poor little guy. God only knows what his last moments on earth were like that he had to endure! Because of your tribute to him, he will not be forgotten!
-
Great grave sleuthing. It was a time when parents could tell a child "Take the train & we'll see you at supper time. Be safe." The parents weren't being negligent, that's just the way it was then. This is beyond sad, even almost 100 years later. Bless your sweet heart Buddy.
-
Makes you wonder how many victims there are before a predator gets caught?
-
This is an incredibly sad story. Thank you for remembering Buddy. May Buddy Rest In Peace.

There's an unsolved murder mystery in my city of a little girl who went to Bayview Park (it's behind the Lambton Health Unit) to wait for her dad to get off work, she was waiting on a bridge that is no longer there when a transient strangled her to death and threw her body under the bridge. Her name was Dorothy Ellen Buchanan and her murder has never been solved. Strangely enough, when I first went to the cemetery where my uncle, some of my grandmother's family and my first step-dad are buried, I seen her grave at the corner of the grave yard right at the lights, then not too long ago, it was gone. No longer at the corner but down further.

Such a sad story of Buddy Schumacher, thanks Ron for telling the story of this beautiful boy, who was cruelly taken by some scumbag. May he be resting in peace. So sad for the parents as well , not ever finding out who did this to their son π’π’π’ππππ
-
Poor little guy. Thank you for the interesting background story. Your delivery, and the walk around this quiet spot, were pleasant and enjoyable.
-
This is such a sad story, I guess there have always been evil people preying on children, another great video Ron, thank you. Rest In Peace Little Buddy π’π

I hear so many people say that things like that didn't happen back then like they do today, that people felt safe to let their kids do what they wanted. They did indeed happen. It's just that today, we hear about them instantly. Back then, word didn't get around like it does today.
